Other's would say "that doesn't include the cost of upkeep, convenience, and beans". I've made that argument to people before, no one quite seems to understand. It's also moot to compare charbucks and any other big chain coffee places to the quality you get at home. When I travel I stop at a lot of the ma and pop shops to see what they can pull with a shot, and only 1 has ever made me go back for a second round (Badass Coffee, Lahaina Maui, Front Street). The man behind the counter went over bean types, roasting periods, the whole deal. He pulled my shot to his liking, I said it was close but not quite my idea of perfect, he asked me to explain what it needed, I said increase the brew pressure, decrease the amount of water... easy enough to do so he did, bam amazing shot! So good I followed it down with 3 more and 2 pounds of their locally roasted Maui Beans. As I said, its an art!
